Welcome to Litsy!

Loved everything about this book!

Another awesome Dollar Tree find. These stories surrounding the same estate in France spanning generations are just beautiful. Beautiful writing.

#DearDecember Day 3: There are now #GreenCovers in our balcony courtesy of Al Ain Central Market. Definitely not bookish but a perfect reading spot during cooler weather. Still waiting for my “nest reading area” to be delivered this week.

Not winter yet, but I loved this image.

Just was struck by this image.

Delury‘s writing is fluid and romantic, most of the stories are lovely. This will fulfill any need you have for a French romance!

Just posted my review on my blog https://bookwormcottage.wordpress.com/author/bookwormcottage/
Basically a short story collection, that didn‘t quite enthrall me. A 50/50 - a couple of the stories were good, and I wish were longer. Some were just so/so. I found it a bit of a downer.

3 1/2 out of 5 (round to 4) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ultimately, I can‘t recommend this one. I didn‘t like the characters, I found the connected stories to really not be that connected, and the balcony as a character was non-existent. I enjoy a good short story collection, but this one left me feeling down and confused. No thanks.

There‘s something incomprehensible about these short stories but I‘m enjoying them.

Time for a quiet lunch in the sun and trying to hold back a cold - sun and green smoothies are my secret weapon. Hope this works.

#TBRtemptation post 2! A debut novel. A century-spanning portrait from the Belle Époque to today, following a single estate set in a small village near Paris. The rose garden, the pond, the third-floor bedroom's balcony, all become silent witnesses to what unfolds. A sumptuous cast of characters, including: a twitterpated American au pair, a shocking ex-courtesan, and a Jewish purple hiding from the Gestapo. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

Slow paced stories loosely woven together. I wasn't sure I liked it at first, but it grew on me. Enjoying it today on my lunch break outside on a hot, sunny-breezy day. It's a perfect day for this type of book!

It was an interesting concept but I couldn‘t get into it. The first chapter was superb but after that I didn‘t care about the characters.

My next March Read has some serious Spring vibes going on in the cover. Seeing how it's almost midnight here though, and I have been reading all night... I will start this one tomorrow 😊

I had serious hopes pinned on this one. Sadly, it‘s my first DNF of the year. January isn‘t even done yet. 🙁 I really, really need an epic read. This wasn‘t it, so I‘m hoping my new book is going to do it for me.
